Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Newport, KY.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Newport allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab programs are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
